ISSC Innovative Solutions and Support Inc

Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (“IS&S” or the “Company”) (ISSC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 ended December 31, 2016.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company reported gross sales of $3.8 million and net sales of $3.4 million, reflecting a return of certain equipment previously sold to a customer to provide them a more cost effective solution and for other future installations. The Company had first quarter fiscal 2016 net sales of $6.6 million. The Company reported a net loss of $1.2 million, or ($0.07) per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In the first quarter a year ago, the Company reported a net loss of $0.2 million, or ($0.01) per share.

Geoffrey Hedrick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IS&S, said, “Our disappointment in program delays with the resulting revenue impact is partially mitigated by a pick-up in new orders and continued progress with the new products we are developing in anticipation of the implementation of NextGen mandates. The timing of orders also weighed on our financial performance. Since adopting our strategy to internally fund new product development, we have been focused on getting ahead of the NextGen mandates with innovative new technologies that address large market opportunities. We continue to progress, with an STC anticipated on our PC-12 Authothrottle in the second quarter. Activity is already improving, with the first quarter’s increased order activity likely to benefit future results. I remain confident we will get back on track to increased profitable sales and positive cash flow in the coming quarters.”

At December 31, 2016, the Company had $18.2 million of cash on hand, down marginally from $18.8 million from September 30, 2016.

New orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 were $5.3 million and backlog as of December 31, 2016 was $6.0 million, up from $4.6 million at September 30, 2016. Backlog excludes potential future sole-source production orders from products in development under the Company’s engineering development contracts, including the Pilatus PC-24, and the KC-46A, all of which the Company expects to remain in production for a decade following completion of their respective development phases. The Company expects that these contracts will add to production sales already in backlog.

Shahram Askarpour, President of IS&S, added, "The addition of an MRO distribution channel is also beginning to produce results. In addition, we increased our commitment to research and development in the quarter. We believe these are signs of the underlying strength of our franchise. We are very excited about the new products we have been introducing and will be introducing in 2017, as they target large market opportunities with a very compelling value proposition, as we continue to build the value of our brand for our shareholders.”
